Emma in the Garden

Sunday afternoon Emma and I took a stroll through Jasmine Hill Gardens in Wetumpka to take some photographs for her 5-year-old portrait. Thank you to my talented friend Cathy Stearns for letting us borrow one of her beautiful handmade heirloom dresses for the event. Here are some of our favorite moments from the day.

The owner of the gardens delighted Emma with this flower with a sweet surprise inside; can you see the little bunny?

"In my garden there is a large place for sentiment. My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams. The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers, and the dreams are as beautiful." -- Abram L. Urban

Emma is a very cute girl. I love her dress with lace detail .... just beautiful!!!!!!As for the photos, are wonderful!!!!!!! Emma seems to cherish the lens of the camera ..... And the garden is amazing with all these colorful flowers !!!!!!!!Love-Natasa.

Oh Melissa, I have watched this precious child grow up through your lens and cannot believe she's five already. The photos are so sweet and the background just beautiful. Again, I'm so glad you shared this with us.

I can't decide which one I like the best. I like the one sitting on the bench, the one with her reflection in the pool and any of the ones where she is holding up her dress. I think that is all Sophie would do.

Emma is lovely and the garden is an amazing setting for her portrait! It's obvious she enjoyed her time in front of the camera, but I can imagine she enjoyed the one-on-one time with mommy even more. How blessed you are to have such lovely children!

Gorgeous! Your daughter is so photogenic and the pics turned out amazing. What a beautiful park. And the dress too! You could tell that she felt beautiful in it...oh, to keep our girls feeling beautiful!

You're a wonderful woman, wife, mother. You have 4 little lucky angels. I absolutely adore your blog and reading your thoughts is so inspiring for me every day. I dream that one day i will have the chance to look back to my life with so much pride as you do. A friend :)
